My next failing package install attempt was uvector, which fails with messages like those I got with the unix package:

The latest darcs version of uvector is no different. Will these problems need to be fixed in the code on a per-package basis, or is there a cabal fix that can overcome them?
This is something that needs to be fixed in the uvector package - it is using internals from the IO library which changed in base-4.2. Cheers, Simon
